addition to providing numeric CATME feedback, students provided written feedback on teammember strengths and areas in which team members could improve using another assessmenttool, called “I like, I wish” (ILIW) (Calleja, 2020). Students were given the following prompt: “Think about interactions with your teammates, and reflect on your team charter. How are things going? What's working well, and what do you wish might improve? Reflect on each team member, what are 1-2 behaviors that you like, 1-2 behaviors you wish they would take on. Reflect on your own behaviors. Are they consistent with your team values? Is there something that you believe you could improve? Communicate honestly, generously, and clearly

Fundamentally, Kolb’sExperiential Learning Model asserts that a cycle of concrete experience, reflective observation,abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation results in higher student learning [10].Implementation of Kolb’s method along with the integration of theory and hands-on practice inand introductory engineering course at Harvey Mudd College saw a statistically significant gainin student learning and an increased enthusiasm amongst female students [5].

The idea is not to use the tool to police cheating but rather to detectopportunities to educate and leverage the cheating incident as a teachable moment [3]. Anyadopted strategy to deal with cheating should be appropriate with transformative experiences oractivities that include reflecting, thinking, and developing new skills and experiences [4].Students who cheat are less likely to attain the course learning objectives. Thus, we shouldprovide them help and assistance to make sense of the experience and develop better decision-making skills. Otherwise, they may develop

(iii) Upon curing, some trusses have their bases geometrically distorted as a result of differential curing of individua joints. Initial loading causes the truss (joints and beams) to oriented with the loading axis, which is reflected by small sections of load- displacement relation. (iv) Beams do not fail under external tensile or compressive loads (Figure 3), but bending, which will be covered in subsequent course of ME 2355 Mechanics of Materials. Elastic modulus of the beams is therefore of secondary importance compared with the flexural rigidity. (v) Some joints fail as the glue is not properly cured

pedagogy [1]. John Dewey [8] who is most commonly associatedwith the theory of experiential learning described this learning approach as simply ‘learning bydoing”. This echos Confucius’s famous quote that states the following: I hear and I forgot, I seeand I remember, I do and I understand. Critical pedagogy is a philosophy of education and socialmovement. Critical pedagogy includes relationships between teaching and learning. Itsproponents claim that it is a continuous process of what they call "unlearning", "learning", and"relearning", "reflection", "evaluation", and the impact that these actions have on the students, inparticular students whom they believe have been historically and continue to be disenfranchisedby what they call "traditional

This requires a strongeducation system with qualified and trained educators. While the American college leveleducators are willing to train this workforce, the K-12 education system is currently challengedby a crisis of inadequate teacher preparation in STEM disciplines leading to low studentpreparation and performance1.

Pandemic is a cooperative game where players are members of a Center forDisease Prevention and control team tasked with treating and curing four global diseases. As acooperative game, players only win against the game instead of against each other. In that study,we found, through reflection and experiential learning, the students were able to not only extractproper teamwork but also put it into practice [11, 12].However, we recognize the Pandemic game does not cover all teamwork skills and may onlysimulate the use of other skills at a mediocre level.

These situations, when added tothe fact that the course requires the use of mental processes that are generally complex andrequire creativity, ingenuity, and discipline, can cause a high desertion rate and a low retentionrate. This is, consequently, reflected in the low passing rate, which is currently about 35%.Second, the teaching method being implemented by many faculty has lost sight of the fact

degree of organic pollutionin the samples. The scientific principle of the experiment is to measure the oxygenconsumption due to biological organisms in the wastewater. The sample has to keep in asealed container fitted with a pressure sensor. Pellets of sodium hydroxide that absorb carbondioxide are added in the container above the sample level. As time passes, oxygen isconsumed and carbon dioxide is released, which will then be absorbed by sodium hydroxide,and thus the pressure in the container decreases. From the drop of pressure, the sensorelectronics computes and displays the consumed quantity of oxygen, which reflects theamount of organic pollutants in the wastewater.We observed active cross-disciplinary collaborations throughout the whole

Also, engineering design situations often involve multiple, conflicting views andstandpoints, which requires engineers to consider various contexts including both technical andnon-technical issues in structuring and representing a design problem for the situation. Jonassenet al.

The successful Socratic methods areidealized in Plato’s works as a humbling succession in prodding the mind to reflect via directquestioning inquiry. The outcome to be expected is that mental gymnastics provide the exercisethat generates good habits of critical thinking. These were espoused at Plato’s Academy whereAristotle, it’s most famous student, developed logic, categorized the early fields of study thatform the basis of many of today’s disciplines, and evolved more practical uses of learning withinthe peripatetic school. These are many of the bricks of the foundation of Western
